Professional and attentive
Dmitriy Shakhnevich represented me in the difficult and very sensitive case. At the beginning the circumstances did not seem promising and I started to prepare myself for the loss. As the case unfolded , Dmitriy was able to reverse the situation . At the trial his strategy practically destroyed his opponent and the case was resolved to our favor. From the first consultation to the final court session Dmitriy showed himself as the highest level professional in in the very aspect of the legal process. He is a truly genuine individual: extremely intelligent, smart, knowledgeable, thorough and attentive. Every interaction with Dmitriy reinforced my believe that he honestly tries to reach the best result and uses every possibility to do so. In addition to an exceptional professionalism Dmitriy has an exeptional personality - very opened, friendly caring, respectful. I personally felt as I am the only Dmitriy's client and my case is his number one priority. I highly recommend Dmitriy Shakhnevish as an effective, trustworthy and responsible attorney.

Artist advocacy
I connected with Dmitriy via Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts. I had a painting damaged beyond repair, and the venue refused to compensate me. With Dmitriy's help, I was able to recover the value of the damaged work from the venue. He kept me very informed throughout the entire process. Highly recommend.

Effective, honest and personable service
The service my family received from Dmitriy Shakhnevich was nothing short of perfect. He is effective, attentive, honest, personable and treats a client with respect. I felt like my son and I were treated just like family members. I also felt like he reached the best possible outcome for our son from a party responsible for his injury. Highly recommend his services. Great work!

Attentive and Professionalism
Attentive and Professionalism Dmitriy successfully handled several sensitive cases for me to recover damages. Dmitriy was patient and diligent in gathering the facts about my cases. At every step of the process he kept me fully informed and reassured. Dmitry’s professionalism and caring attitude made every interaction with him pleasant and optimistic. I expected one case to go to trial and take over a year to resolve. However, because of Dmitriy’s diligence he was able to resolve my case with a demand letter to the third party, that prompted them to settle the case quickly. I enthusiastically recommend Dmitriy as a compete and trustworthy lawyer. In my business relationship dealing with Dmitry, he as always chosen to work with passion, rigor, high integrity, honesty, and transparency.

Mike
I only had initial consultation with Dmitriy and based on information that he provided i decided that it is more reasonable for me not to proceed with my case. While many other lawyers may want just to give necessary information to get the client and create a good impression, Dmitriy really provides useful and specific information during the initial consultation. He is knowledgeable and goes deep into details. I recommend him.
